Interested in Becoming an Intern?

The Arts and Technology Track of the VPA department has a steady stream of internships we can offer to our students. We have student interns in video production, television, graphic design, web development, high school teaching (technology), media arts and activism, feature film production, and recording technologies. Most of these students become full time employees at these companies upon graduation.

Our majors have gone on to graduate school, most recently UCSD, UCLA and Vermont College in video and media arts. Many of our students continue as artists after they graduate. They also teach undergraduate courses, and work in the industry once they have graduated. We have students working as design directors, web systems developers, video producers, teachers in media arts programs in high schools, musicians and recording technicians. Internships have prepared our student for positions in Graphic Design, which in San Diego County, the new job growth rate is 24.3%, which is much faster than the county-wide average of 15.3% (2004 Occupational Outlook Report, San Diego Workforce Partnership).

Our alumni also work in technical theater positions at Legoland and other commercial institutions of this type. There is substantial regional demand for graduates from our program, and the Arts and Technology track prepares them for work.

Website Design and Maintenance Internship

For the past two years, faculty have been working with two LTWR MA students and the residents of Kamp Katrina, a camp in New Orleans that provides shelter for the city¿s street musicians, on a series of projects to help support this artist community¿a film, a website, and various smaller projects.
 
We are in need of a student interested in assisting with this project by helping us build a website for Kamp Katrina. We are looking for someone with website development experience who can work collaboratively with us to create and design a website using Dreamweaver or Web PageMaker.  We expect that the website will include the following:
 
·  Embedded video clips, sound files, and still images
·  Database of visitor information and email lists
·  Hyperlinks
·  Easy transition between multiple pages of content
Once the site is developed, we will need website maintenance and other tasks such as organizing & updating content, creating, editing & optimizing images and transferring files. The student must be familiar with HTML and able to work with our campus¿ IITS office.
 
The student can enroll in an LTWR or VPA internship, and Dawn Formo will to serve as the supervisor for this project.
